The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat)
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is a global organization dedicated to promoting sustainable urban development and improving living conditions in cities and towns. Founded in 1978, it works with governments, local authorities, and communities to create better policies and practices for housing, infrastructure, and public spaces. UN-Habitat aims to make cities more livable by addressing issues like poor housing, urban poverty, and environmental sustainability, ultimately striving for a world where everyone has access to safe and affordable housing and a vibrant urban environment.
